Dr Jose Luis Cordeiro, a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, United States educated scientist and one of the founders of Singularity University has come up with shocking research finding that “dying will be ‘optional’ within just 27 years and the ageing process will be ‘reversible’.”
According to Dr Cordeiro, an MIT- trained genetic engineer who made a presentation recently along with a colleague of his, David Wood, during the presentation of their new book in Barcelona, Spain said their research findings show that “Humans will only die in accidents, never of natural causes or illness, by around the year 2045.”
The researchers, Cordeiro and David Wood, say it is ‘crucial’ that old age starts to be classified as an ‘illness’ so that publicly-funded research into its ‘cure’ can be extended beyond its present state.

David Wood, is a Cambridge (UK) trained mathematician and a co- founder of the operating system called ‘Symbian’. Together with Cordeiro, they have just released their book entitled, The Death of Death .
According to both scientists and artificial intelligence strategists, man’s immortality is real and its scientific possibility could come even much earlier than 2045 as they both project.
Nanotechnology is key, among other new genetic manipulation techniques, the engineers said during their presentation in Barcelona, Spain.
According to them, “the process will involve turning ‘bad’ genes into healthy ones, eliminating dead cells from the body, repairing damaged cells, treatments with stem cells and ‘printing’ vital organs in 3D.
Cordeiro, who is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) USA based genetic engineer shockingly posited that he has “chosen not to die’ and that in 30 years’ time, he will be ‘younger than he is today”.
“Ageing is the result of DNA ‘tails’, known as ‘telomeres’, in chromosomes – of which every cell except red blood and sex cells has 23 pairs – becoming shorter, and reversing ageing involves lengthening the telomeres,” he added.
They both explained further: “Telomeres become damaged and shortened with the passage of time, a process that speeds up in the event of toxins entering the body – smoking, alcohol and air pollution are among elements that reduce the length of telomeres, thus accelerating ageing.
Cordeiro and Wood argue that that in the next one decade, “illnesses such as cancer will be curable, and that major international corporations such as Google will be ‘entering the field of medicine’ because they are ‘beginning to realize that curing ageing is possible”.
Recall that Microsoft has reportedly announced the setting up of a cryopreservation centre which enables a scientist to research the possibility of cancer being completely curable within the next ten years.
The two scientists maintain that “it was discovered in 1951 how cancer cells are immortal: when Henrietta Lacks died from cervical cancer, surgeons removed the tumour and kept it – and it is still ‘alive’ today.”
Cordeiro added: “Immortality will not necessarily mean the planet becomes overcrowded, the scientists say: there is still plenty of room for more people on Earth, and these days, people do not have anywhere near as many children as they did in past decades and centuries; plus, ‘it will be possible to live in space by then’.
“Japan and the Koreas, if they continue with their current trend of hardly having any children, will become extinct – within two centuries, there’ll be no Japanese or Korean people on the planet.”
He explained further; “But thanks to these new techniques, there will indeed be Japanese and Korean people, because they’ll live forever and remain young.”
“The cost of anti-ageing treatment was compared to that of the latest SmartPhones.
“At first, it’ll be expensive, but with a competitive market the price will gradually fall because it’ll be something that benefits everyone,” Cordeiro says.
“Technology, when it’s new, is poor and extremely expensive, but it eventually becomes democratic and mainstream and becomes cheaper.”
According to the two engineers they have already been deploying their scientific techniques for two years inappropriately in Colombia where there are fewer regulations dealing with genetic manipulation.
In his presentation in Barcelona, Cordeiro, the MIT trained robotics, artificial intelligence and new technology scholar reiterates that by 2045, man would be immortal.
“Death will turn up to be a choice from here to one or three decades,” he repeats. Cordeiro is also the Director of the Nodo Venezolano Millenium Project and a reported guest scientist at the Institute of Developing Economies in Tokyo, Japan.
He has been quoted as advisor to some global energy companies including BP world, Repsol, Pemex, among others.
